I stood up and approached young Chisuke by kneeling down. “Listen,” I say. “We need to go there.”

“No! My Dad… he will come.”

“When?” I asked. “We’ve been waiting here for so long but still he hasn’t come.”

“No he promised he will be here soon.”

I took a deep breath. “What are you afraid of?” I seriously asked him. “Tell me.”

He look at me for a while. “You can’t do anything even if you know the thing.”

“Try me.”

“No!” he said and pushed me hard that made me fall back.

“Ouch!”

“Don’t force me to hurt you more!” he warned.

Huh! He never changes even though...
